Copper

---

Voice, why don't you speak? Silence, why won't you listen? Eternal, shimmering light the new day brings Burning promises and gifts Void, forgive those who fail to understand Cry, They can't hear A lonely boy surveys te desert land Congratulations! We 've built a city out of copper. They call them moons And they call them stars and comets and planets If they could only see the Desperate souls of men gulping in despair... Afar! Afar! Boy, please don't cry The tears become specs of dust And the word, "forever", casts the shadow of fear Alas, You are not alone ...

...Ok, maybe I really missed the point of this and I shouldn't, but I don't really understand what happens. I'm not saying it's bad though. It's like when you listen to songs in foreign languages, or a song that you know you relate to, but you can't really follow it, but you still love it. That's how I feel. It's good. Cheers, ~Sephe~

I liked this poem a lot...my favorite stanza was 'Afar! Afar! Boy, please don't cry The tears become specs of dust And the word, "forever", casts the shadow of fear' I loved the structure of this poem...It was very origional. This poem had a lot of really good imagry...I loved how it didn't focus on one main idea...or if it did...the way it used so many different anologies... Over all I just really liked this poem... Very good job... Blessed be... ...Sage Unadorned...
